Plan activities specialized for each group. If it is a forum, invite panels with different background. If it is a carnival, you can have different activity for different group, for example, story telling technique for children in one room, talk on financial sustainability for parents in one room, info hunt competition for teenagers, booth with different type of sellers or companies at the lobby and film show at the theatre.

Considere ouvir suas vozes, consultando líderes e organizações locais para entender suas necessidades. Invista em uma programação diversa, com palestrantes e atividades que reflitam diferentes experiências e culturas. Certifique-se de que o espaço seja acessível a todos, utilizando uma linguagem inclusiva em toda comunicação. Crie um ambiente acolhedor, oferecendo oportunidades para interação e troca de histórias. Após o evento, colete feedback para aprimorar futuras iniciativas e, sempre que possível, faça parcerias com organizações locais para fortalecer a conexão.

Advertise and promote the program in ways that are accessible themselves. For example- have signs with large enough print that is easy to read. Make sure the event information and registration (if applicable) are easy to find on the library's website. If there is a large community of speakers of a particular language (and staff fluent in it), you can even have flyers in that language or have the staff member be available for translating and interpreting. Finally, avoid loud noises, bright flashing lights, and other common sensory triggers.

For example, a library event is being organized as a learning and sharing opportunity for marginalized communities. Participants will tour the library to get familiar with its services, resources, and activities. Next, they'll learn how to access these services, especially through community outreach programs. Finally, they'll share their service needs, and if their institution plans a library, they'll receive guidance and support. In summary: ✅Introduction to library services ✅Access for marginalized communities ✅Feedback and future service discussions This event will help marginalized communities feel welcomed and represented, making the library a key part of their support network. #LibraryForAll #CommunityEngagement #LibraryEvent

Creo que a nivel de experiencia los eventos que realizamos actualmente no son inclusivos. A la hora de la verdad tienen acceso a la biblioteca pero por ejemplo no contamos con interpretes para traducir los cuentacuentos si vinieran personas que hablasen otra lengua que no fuese el español. Tampoco contamos con personal para adaptar la actividad a niños o adultos que necesiten de lenguaje de signos. Simplemente tenemos un acceso amplio y un ascensor para que acudan en sillas de ruedas. Creo que aquí hay mucho que mejorar.

I think my organization really tries to focus on people with overlapping identities, like race and gender. We ask for feedback regularly to keep improving inclusivity and make sure we use respectful and fair language for everyone. Avoiding bias is important, but it can be hard to get it right all the time. Still, I believe our library is a safe space for students. We also have a decolonization program to make sure our materials reflect the community's diverse backgrounds. Plus, we use different platforms to promote events and make sure the messaging is welcoming and accessible. The larger organization also offers language services and courses to support inclusivity.

Creo que aún son muy pocas las bibliotecas que se preocupan por incluir en sus eventos a las personas con limitaciones visuales, auditivas y de movilidad porque los presupuestos cada vez están más limitados y se ven en la necesidad de solo atender a su público objeto, adicional a eso a las personas que trabajamos en ellas nos falta formación en este importante tema para poder pensar en esta población no solo en los eventos sino en los programas de formación, asesoría personalizada, exposiciones y eventos culturales para incluirlos y mejorar su experiencia
